  • Un stick suffisamment puissant et versatile afin de remplacer votre ordinateur de cinéma maison. mais qui ne remplacera fort probablement pas votre télé intelligente. L'interface en français a encore besoin d'être peaufinée. L'utilisateur doit être prêt à...

  • Accès aux applications de streaming les plus populaires, pas chère, fourni avec une télécommande (contrairement au Chromecast), lancement rapide des contenus Amazon
  • Plus lente que la plupart des autres appareils de streaming équivalents, interface non personnalisable, les services populaires type Netflix YouTube et autres sont en retrait par rapport à celui d'Amazon
  • La clé HDMI Fire TV Stick Basic Edition est un produit abordable idéal pour les abonnés Prime Video qui accèdent prioritairement aux séries et films du catalogue Amazon. Mais d'autres appareils récents sont plus performants pour profiter de Netflix et c...

  • Simple et intuitif à mettre en œuvre, "Invisible": le boîtier reste caché derrière le téléviseur
  • Système de recommandation de programmes limités à Amazon Prime Video, Pas de contrôle vocal, Réactivité perfectible, Marché d'applications fouillis et sans moteur de recherche, Pas de lecteur de carte microSD, Pas d'autoframerate pour les vidéos
  • S'il ne tient pas la comparaison avec les ténors du genre que sont les Apple TV 4K et Nvidia Shield TV, le Fire TV Stick n'est pas inintéressant, bien au contraire. Son petit prix en fait une excellente solution pour qui souhaite accéder simplement et ef...

  • UHD mit 60 FpS und HDR10+, Größte Streaming-Anbieter-Auswahl, Alexa an Bord
  • Kein LAN, Kein USB
  • In der Fire-Serie ist 4K zwar nicht neu, im Test ist der Fire TV Stick 4K aber ein hervorragendes Upgrade zum älteren Fire TV 4K. Amazon hat den Streaming-Player auf Stick-Größe geschrumpft und spielt nun 4K-Inhalte mit 60 Bildern pro Sekunde samt HDR10+-...

  • sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, 4K, HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Fernbedienung steuert Lautstärke am TV
  • keinen Ausschalter, kein natives Smartphone-Mirroring, keine Speichererweiterung
  • Amazon holt sich selbst Konkurrenz ins Haus. Denn der Fire TV Stick 4K ist günstiger als der Fire TV 4K, ist ihm aber in den entscheidenden Punkten ebenbürtig, teilweise sogar überlegen. Besonders gut hat uns gefallen, dass die Fernbedienung nun den Ferns...

  • Einfache Bedienung, Sehr gute Bild- und Tonqualität, Sehr preisgünstig
  • Keine Lautstärketasten auf der Fernbedienung
  • Gegenüber den Vorgängermodellen ist das aktuelle Amazon Fire TV deutlich geschrumpft. An der Leistung hat sich wenig geändert, das Fire TV reagiert zackig wie eh und je auf Fernbedienungs-Eingaben. Die Suchfunktion mit Spracheingabe funktioniert außerdem...
